Europe study pinpoints iPhone 5 as the top mobile data hog, phones overtake tablets

The other interesting trend is that for the first time smartphones took over tablets as biggest data consumers. With today's ever-increasing screen sizes, you can do much more with a phone now, and what you used to do on a slate, so that somewhat explains than in the top 10 the first 6 are phones, next 3 tablets, and the last one a "phablet"...

It won't be long before the phablet category displaces the tablets. I was thinking of getting a N7, but after the Note II, I am going to pass on the N7.

Droid I got a ? For ya. I have a note 2, and I have the camera set to save pics to the memory card, but when I make a folder whether I copy or move the pics into it, it goes to the device memory. Is there a way to keep folders on the memory card please, and thank u.

I don't think that's gonna happen ppl like the 7,(7.9),8.9,(9.7) & 10.1 sizes phablet are great enough for there own category.

I don't get it - the iPhone doesn't have a download manager, nor a file manager...
